Analysis:

Westbrook will not be available for Sunday's game against the Lakers but a source close to the situation told Yahoo! Sports that Westbrook could take the court if it were a playoff game. This news certainly bodes well for Westbrook after he had surgery on the zygomatic arch in his right cheek bone Saturday. Backup point guard D.J. Augustin will almost certainly take over while everyone awaits the results of Westbrooks' reevaluation sometime before Wednesday's game against the 76ers.
